Bad news for Mike Wallace

DAVIE, Fla. -- The [URL="http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/mia/miami-dolphins"]Miami Dolphins[/URL] continued their early start to training camp. The Dolphins remain the only AFC East team on the practice field, as they completed Day 3 on Tuesday.

Here are several notes and observations from Miami's practice:

It was not a banner day for Miami's quarterbacks. Starter [URL="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14876/ryan-tannehill"]Ryan Tannehill[/URL] and backup quarterback [URL="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/11128/matt-moore"]Matt Moore[/URL] both struggled against Miami's defense on the first day in full pads. Tannehill threw a pair of pick sixes to Dolphins safety [URL="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/4864/chris-clemons"]Chris Clemons[/URL] and linebacker [URL="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13103/dannell-ellerbe"]Dannell Ellerbe[/URL], respectively. Moore, who had a [URL="http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/61326/miami-dolphins-training-camp-observations-day-2"]stellar day on Monday[/URL], also threw a pick to safety [URL="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14059/jimmy-wilson"]Jimmy Wilson[/URL] in team drills. A shaky practice like this reminds you that Tannehill is young and still has a lot to learn. He started 16 games as a rookie in 2012, but he will still have his ups and downs.

One of the reasons the quarterbacks struggled was because the offensive line was shaky all morning. The defensive line did a good job collapsing the pocket, and Tannehill was often rushed into making quick decisions. Miami's defense also brought some complicated blitzes that caused would-be sacks. "It was good," Dolphins Pro Bowl defensive tackle [URL="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/5596/randy-starks"]Randy Starks[/URL] said after practice. "We tried to set the tone and we did that."
